Shania Twain Centre lights up the season with gigantic display of lights (December 6, 2001)
Quoted from The Timmins Daily Press
A part of the city has been lit up with 15,000 Christmas lights.
The Shania Twain Centre turned on 15,000 Christmas bulbs, both inside and out, in a celebration of the season Thursday evening.
"It's the idea of bringing everybody together and encouraging people to come up and see the lights," said Will Saari, tourism and attractions manager for the City of Timmins.
The centre was planning to light up 20,000 Christmas bulbs, but the wind storm Thursday knocked down two 15-foot Christmas trees from the top of the centre. Those trees are expected to be lit today.
Once the lights were on Thursday, the Bertha Shaw Public School Choir took over the entertainment scene and held a mini concert for a part of the evening. Other performances by local schools will be held in the next two weeks.
Centre representatives will be collecting donations for the South Porcupine Food Bank during the performances.
"It goes along with Shania's idea of showcasing local talent and we know that the food bank is a charity closest to her heart," said Tracy Hautanen, customer service manager at the Shania Twain Centre.
Flora MacDonald Public School Choir will perform Dec. 10 at 6:30 p.m., Ecole Anicet-Morin Choir will perform Dec. 11 at 7 p.m., Schumacher Public School Choir will perform Dec. 12, R. Ross Beattie Public School Choir and Band will perform Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. and Queen Elizabeth Public School will conclude the series Dec. 19 at 7 p.m.
